internet usage: men vs women

In most categories of internet activity, more men than women are participants, but women are catching up.
-overall this might be true i agree that women are catching up,more and more things are becoming available and women are becoming more interested.
Men are more avid consumers than women of online information. Men look for information on a wider variety of topics and issues than women do.
-women usually just use online for what they need ,men can spend hours just parusing the internet, i can see where they are coming from when they use this statistic.
Men are more interested than women in technology, and they are also more tech savvy.
-i feel like im really tech savvy i guess this just depends on who you are
Men are more likely than women to use the internet as a destination for recreation. Men are more likely to: gather material for their hobbies, read online for pleasure, take informal classes, participate in sports fantasy leagues, download music and videos, remix files, and listen to radio.
-basically these stats are saying men use the internet for everything no matter what, they are attached at the hip to their computer, maybe its because you can have everything at the tips of ur fingers and men are usually lazy which makes this understandable.
More online men than women perform online transactions. Men and women are equally likely to use the internet to buy products and take part in online banking, but men are more likely to use the internet to pay bills, participate in auctions, trade stocks and bonds, and pay for digital content.
- women want to check their bank and go shopping right from the get go why bother in auctions and trade stocks and bonds its not appealing.
